<p>[QUOTE=&quot;xtrmbrdr, post: 584741, member: 17193&quot;]<font face="Times New Roman">The contest will start at 8PM mountain time Saturday (05/09/2009), this will allow for a few hours to figure out he rules and ask questions, since I am new to this and I think you will be as well. It will end on Monday (05/11/2009) at 6PM mountain time, all based on CT time stamps. At that time winners will be determined and I will post screen shots. And, I’ll try and make it as complicated as possible :smile</font></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><font face="Times New Roman">OK, on to how you play, don’t get up caught in the details, I’ll take care of that, I think, but I’ll explain as well as I can, here we go. Pick your 3 cards for each place (do not pick x for &#039;any suite&#039;). Take for example 1) below, if only one person picks As they win, if two or more people have As only those people move on. If no winner is determined, the person who has Ax Kh wins, if it is still a tie, the person who has Ax Kx 2s wins, still no winner? Next up would be Ax Kx 2x. Then we would move on to column two, in the same manner as previously described, then on to column three. If it’s still a tie, then we will use the tiebreaker cards in the same manner, in order from left to right.</font></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><font face="Times New Roman">I will use the <b><i>Playing Card Shuffler</i></b> on random.org to determine the winners. I will draw 5 cards for each place using 5 decks, and determine the winners as outlined above, so it is possible that all the cards could be the same value and suite.</font></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><font face="Times New Roman">Prizes are as follows:</font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman">1st: (1) PCGS MS66 1943S cent / (1) 2009 P cent / (1) 2009 D cent</font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman">2nd: (1) 1959D cent / (1) 1960 cent / (1) 2009 P cent / (1) 2009 D cent</font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman">3rd: (1) 1960 cent / (1) 2009 P cent / (1) 2009 D cent</font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman">4th: (1) 2009 P cent / (1) 2009 D cent</font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman">5th: (1) 2009 P cent / (1) 2009 D cent</font></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><font face="Times New Roman">Example (three cards):</font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman">1) As Kh 2s(for 1st place)</font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman">2) 2d 9c Jh (for 2nd place)</font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman">3) Tc Qs 4d (for 3rd place)</font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman">4) Jh 7s Ks (for 4th place)</font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman">5) 5c 6c 9h (for 5th place)</font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman">Tiebreaker cards: Ad Kh</font></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><font face="Times New Roman">Please try to use the same format as shown so I can copy and paste into Excel and use text to columns and a filter.

In hand the coin looks in-between. I&#039;ve experimented with dropping them in acetone and rinsing with water and they look much better, but the coin you receive will not be altered in anyway. I&#039;ll leave that to you if you desire, I&#039;m throwing in a 1960 for second place to make sure you are satisfied.</font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman">[ATTACH]46590.vB[/ATTACH]</font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
